We produce exact cubic analogues of Jacobi's celebrated theta function identity and of the arithmetic-geometric mean iteration of Gauss and Legendre. The iteration in question is

Orthogonal Legendre moments are used in several pattern recognition and image processing applications. Translation and scale Legendre moment invariants were expressed as a combination of the approximate original Legendre moments. The shifted and scaled Legendre polynomials were expressed in terms of the original Legendre polynomials according to complicated and time-consuming algebraic relation...

A new family of self-calibration additional parameters (APs) is presented for calibrating airborne camera systems. We point out that photogrammetric self-calibration can to a very large extent be considered as a function approximation problem in mathematics. Based on the mathematical approximation theory, a novel family of so-called Legendre APs is developed based on the orthogonal Legendre pol...

In this paper, interval Legendre wavelet method is investigated to approximated the solution of the interval Volterra-Fredholm-Hammerstein integral equation. The shifted interval Legendre polynomials are introduced and based on interval Legendre wavelet method is defined. The existence and uniqueness theorem for the interval Volterra-Fredholm-Hammerstein integral equations is proved. Some examp...

The convex feasibility problem, that is, finding a point in the intersection of finitely many closed convex sets in Euclidean space, arises in various areas of mathematics and physical sciences. It can be solved by the classical method of cyclic orthogonal projections, where, by projecting cyclically onto the sets, a sequence is generated that converges to a point in the intersection. In 1967, ...

This is to certify that I have examined a copy of a technical report by Kazh Brito and found it satisfactory in all respects, and that any and all revisions required by the examining committee have been made. Abstract This is an exploration of Legendre spectral finite-element (LSFE) formulations for Reissner-Mindlin plates. The goal was to compare high-order LSFEs with standard low-order finite...

In 1951, F. Brafman derived several “unusual” generating functions of classical orthogonal polynomials, in particular, of Legendre polynomials Pn(x). His result was a consequence of Bailey’s identity for a special case of Appell’s hypergeometric function of the fourth type. In this paper, we present a generalization of Bailey’s identity and its implication to generating functions of Legendre po...

We provide a proximal average with repect to $1$-coercive Legendre function. In the sense of Bregman distance, envelope is convex combination envelopes individual functions. The mapping convexified mappings Techniques from variational analysis keys for average.

A new family of wavelets is introduced, which is associated with Legendre polynomials. These wavelets, termed spherical harmonic or Legendre wavelets, possess compact support. The method for the wavelet construction is derived from the association of ordinary second order differential equations with multiresolution filters. The low-pass filter associated to Legendre multiresolution analysis is ...
